Mothers Day 2014...

I am  a lucky girl...

This year Mothers Day was dry and sunny,

I made a most delicious roast dinner with the best bit of beef I've eaten in years {thanks farmer Giles!}

I was gifted pretty flowers...

But I was also gifted a day off, a real genuine day off!!

Not on Mothers Day, that was spent with various little and big ones and a trip to see my very own mum x

No my day off was...

The Cath Kidston store in a local town was hosting a Lampshade Making workshop and I booked myself in!

It was good fun and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing, I chose my fabric online the night before...

Cath Kidston Big Budgies

and soon got to work...

perched {do you get it?} just inside the shop by the door

it was a fun couple of hours and I had a legit reason to be lingering in a very cute little shop!

The end result?  

Well turned out way better than I had hoped

soon to be listed for sale

 and

Ties in nicely with another little March project which I'll show and tell next time!
